ASTM A588 weatherproof steel plate is high strength low alloy structural steel for welded, riveted, or bolted construction. ASTM A588 weatherproof steel plate has a 50ksi minimum yield strength and a 70ksi minimum tensile strength. ASTM A588 steel is well known for its weathering ability.
ASTM A588 weatherproof steel plate is intended primarily for use in welded bridges and buildings where savings in weight or added durability are important. The corrosion-resistant properties of ASTM A588 weatherproof steel plate would become stronger even unpainted when exposed to external conditions.
ASTM A588 weatherproof steel plate is highly weldable. Its strength contributes to its long lifespan, even when subjected to the harshest elements. ASTM A588 weatherproof steel plate is used in a broad range of applications that include transmission and phone towers, freight cars, bridge and gusset plates, and so on.
